I know this is beating a dead horse and this subject has been covered in numerous threads. As a long time lurker I haven't posted until now, but I'm kind of at a loss about this situation.
I had been having issues in my 2012 Model S with the touchscreen glitching or acting up (no 3g/connectivity, static lines, not reacting to touch, etc.) Took the car to Tesla service center and paid out of pocket for the daughter board replacement, which was advised at the time (still awaiting refund..)
After the daughter board was replaced, the screen became almost bricked up. It began entirely blanking out. It started happening 2 weeks after the replacement, and now is an almost daily occurrence. My belief is that this may have occurred after the daughterboard was replaced.
I took it to Tesla and they said it doesn't have to do with the recall and the motherboard showed signs of failure and the only way to fix it is to go with the $1500 mcu replacement.
I filed a report with the NHTSA, because i've been unable to use my turn signals giving me road anxiety, or have temperature controls which has been very difficult this cold winter.
Possibly moot point in posting this, but I don't want to spend $1500 on my already depreciating vehicle, for something that 1. is a defect and related to the recall/safety issue, 2. happened perhaps as an effect of the daughterboard replacement.
Has anyone had something similar happen after replacing the EMMC? Is there anyway to have Tesla cover this, or would doing so just prove they are the responsible party which is why they are refusing to?
